IndyCar Race Today: St Pete Grand Prix start times, schedule and how to watch live on TV

The 2025 IndyCar season officially gets underway today (Sunday, March 2) with the Firestone Grand Prix of St Petersburg.

It is a hugely exciting time for the series having landed a new broadcast deal with FOX, and with the 2024 season having concluded in September, it has been a long wait to have IndyCar racing back. We cannot wait to see who comes out on top in St Pete this afternoon.

Of course, Alex Palou enters the season as the reigning champion and a three-time title winner and will no doubt have eyes on making it three back-to-back and four overall championships come the end of 2024.

However, IndyCar is ultra-competitive, and as we saw last season, there are likely to be multiple race winners, with the likes of Pato O'Ward, Colton Herta, Josef Newgarden, Scott Dixon, and Scott McLaughlin all having tasted victory last year.

With all of that said, let's get into all of the details you need to know regarding the timings in St Pete and how you can watch all of the action unfold live.
